Dr. Carol McNamara-Krauss is a chiropractic physician who has practiced at 3320 N Federal Hwy in Lighthouse Point, Florida, for 30 years. She holds Florida chiropractic physician license CH5281 and graduated from Life Chiropractic College. Car Accident Doctors Group is her accident-injury practice: the examination, treatment and documentation of injuries from motor vehicle collisions for patients across Broward and Palm Beach counties, and for the personal injury attorneys who refer them.
What 30 years on one street looks like
Federal Highway between Copans Road and Sample Road has been her address for three decades. In that time the practice has treated the drivers and passengers from crashes on US-1, Sample Road, Atlantic Boulevard, Hillsboro Boulevard and I-95, the boaters and golfers of Lighthouse Point and Pompano Beach, and three generations of some families. The Google reviews on her practitioner profile mention the same things in different words: on time, no wait, honest, and the same doctor every visit.
How she practices
The examination comes first and it is hers. Orthopedic and neurological testing, range-of-motion measurement, palpation, and a decision about imaging, all done and documented the same day. Treatment is chosen from those findings rather than from a package: adjustments where joints are restricted, spinal decompression on the Antalgic-Trac system where a disc is involved, Class IV laser on the LightForce system for inflammation, shockwave on the Chattanooga system for tendons and soft tissue away from the spine, therapeutic ultrasound and electrical stimulation for spasm, massage therapy with Dawn Marie Teufel, LMT, and nutritional counseling for tissue healing. Two rules hold in every case: shockwave never goes on the spine, and laser and shockwave never go on the same area.
She does not make emergency medical condition determinations. When an examination suggests one is warranted, the patient is referred to an MD, DO, PA or APRN so the full Florida PIP benefit stays available, and the referral is coordinated by the office.
The team around her
Janelle Deal, the attorney-patient case coordinator, has 30 years of experience in Florida PIP claims and speaks Spanish. Elizabeth Celestin, APRN, also speaks Spanish. Dawn Marie Teufel, LMT, provides massage therapy. Every visit note, narrative report and records request runs through a proprietary case documentation system built in consultation with personal injury attorneys. The about page describes the office and the attorney page describes the arrangement for referring firms.

Appointment hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8am to 12pm and 2pm to 6pm and Tuesday from 2pm to 6pm, with Saturday appointments by request. The phone, (754) 342-6479, is answered 24/7.
